    Food was good, we got it to go. Was not a fan of the black beans or rice tho.

    i'll start by saying that the waitress was very nice and very attentive. However, The prices are insanely high – they have definitely gone up recently. My son ordered a hamburger and I ordered a taco salad. We had a small bowl of queso. Our bill with tax and tip was $55. That's crazy for lunch! I ordered the taco salad – it said it was a beef taco salad, yet I was charged extra for the beef that I thought was included. The food was mediocre at best. I'm not surprised that it was empty in there today. There are several other options in the area with better food and much lower prices. We probably won't be back.

    The amount of salsa given for an entire bag of chips is laughable.

    We used to be regulars many years ago but fell off when the ownership changed. Seems like these newest owners are getting back to what made Fresco’s fabulous back in the day! We ordered the house queso, chicken ceasar fajita tacos, enchiladas (pick 3, as is), brisket tacos, and pechuga de pollo. All were reminiscent of OG Fresco’s and we were so so pleased. The Grand Margaritas got two thumbs up as well. Our server, Randon, was excellent! Perfectly attentive and friendly and kept our chips, salsa, and waters all full. He definitely made our return to Fresco’s even more memorable. We’ll be back!

    On one hand, they have the **most delicious** steak fajitas, chicken fajitas (that's a miracle), rice, refried beans, charro beans, and house salsa. I got catering from here for a party of 25 and everything was so so SO good. And I used all the leftover beans and salsa (and sides of shredded cheese) to make with eggs for a week. And THAT was so delicious I started stopping in to get quarts of beans just for the purpose. On the other hand. The quarts of beans and rice are $15 each. Um. That's kind of ridiculous. I finally forced myself to break away from them because that's just too much. And on the other OTHER hand... after the catering thing, I was so enamored with the fajitas, I ordered the plates for dinner delivery a couple of times for me and my husband and... you guys. The menu says Fajiitas for 2 is 1 lb of fajitas. Wrong. The first time I got them I weighed out the meat and it came to 10-5/8 oz. I actually complained and the restaurant gave me a gift card as an apology. So I decided to order again. Omg. See photo. 9-1/8 ounces of meat for 2 people. Are you kidding me?? When I complained again, the manager tried to tell me that 1 lb was precooked weight. No. Even if that were true, beef yield across all cuts is 75-80%. It would be more than 9-1/8 ounces. But it shouldn't even be precooked weight. Everywhere else I order fajitas where they say "1 lb" I actually get 1 lb. So why Fresco's thinks it can get away with this utter nonsense - twice - and probably on a daily basis with other customers, is beyond me. I hate that Fresco's has such great food. Because I can't bring myself to go back and pay for two plates just to have enough meat for my husband and I to have a proper meal.
